The Football Association of Ireland informs all clubs of changes to the Return to Train & Play protocol which are to be introduced with immediate effect.

Following consultation with Government agencies on COVID-19 guidelines, the FAI can confirm that from today, September 29th, the need to train in pods outdoors has been removed with teams now free to train in whatever numbers they require. Pods will remain in place for indoor training until further notice.

Team photos are also now permitted at all levels of the game.
